Susan Ann

Mack

Susan Ann Mack (Belknap) passed away unexpectedly on November 7th, 2026 at her home of seventeen years in Coconut Creek, Florida. She was 60 years old.

Susan was born on December 15th, 1965 in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, the 5th child of the late Roy Charles and Maureen Sullivan Belknap, the loving sister of Catherine (Ben), James (Maureen), Mary, Patricia, and Julie (Jon). Her nieces and nephews meant the world to her, and she was the favorite aunt of Daniel (Liz), SJ, Michael (Hailey), Kelly (Burke), Alyssa, Nicholas, Douglas (Lauren), Matthew (Mark), Claire, and Nikolas, and the great aunt of Jack and Emma. She also found immense joy in all of the family dogs spanning forty-six years, whose photos were displayed throughout her home: Heidi, Snuggles, Connor, Indie, Laddie, Walker, Pippin, Jack, Charlie, Spencer, Forest, and Tanner.

As a rabid Detroit sports fan, Susan followed the Pistons, Tigers, Lions, and Red Wings with what one might call fervor and another might call obsession. She knew every player, every game, and every W/L.

Forever young, sweet, spunky, sassy, and a tad salty, Susan kept it real. No holiday or family get-together was complete without her quirky humor, leaving a trail of “Sueisms,” stories, and laughs wherever she went. Her grit and determination were remarkable -and a testament to our mother who encouraged her to try everything with no excuses or exceptions. From a young age she was the heart and soul of our family. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

In 2009, Susan moved to The Foundation for Independent Living (FIL) in Coconut Creek, Florida, a private, not-for-profit, community-based program for adults with varying cognitive disabilities and developmental delays. We want to thank all of Susan’s friends and her surrogate family at FIL. You were her people -her loving embrace, a gentle hand dealt with patience and humor. Every one of you made a profound difference in her life and ours, and she loved you all dearly.

We will be celebrating Susan’s life with a private ceremony at FIL on December 13th, 2026.

We will also celebrate Susan’s life in Michigan with a public Mass and interment at St. Hugo of the Hills Church. The date and details will follow.
